Lil Otto

When we first moved to AZ, we transplanted a large 25' saguaro cactus to our backyard. We named him Otto (anything that big and costing that much to transplant deserved a name!) Since then, I've always thought I wanted to make my own Otto. Presto! Lil Otto is born and made of green felt with ribs sewn prior to assembly. After assembling, each spine was painstakingly pierced into the ribs. The beaded blossoms show the normal June blooming of a saguaro.

About Me

Victoria is a mixed media artist with interests in sculpture, beadwork, paper and fiber arts as well as SCUBA diving and travel. She is always asking "What if..." and she loves to do things outside of the box. Many days you will find her with artwork in progress or teaching a class or two or traveling to some foreign country.
Don shares many of the same interests; he particularly enjoys foreign travel, underwater photography, African carvings, stained glass, and most contemporary art forms. His other hobby is "retiring"...after 40 years "on the job", he has tried to stop. Now after three attempts, he just might succeed.
